SMS Password Security

The SMS Password feature enables you to use a password to send a command
at any time to the device. Even if Trusted Phone Number is enabled, you can
send an SMS command from a non-trusted number, provided you include the
password.
A default SMS password is generated from the last four characters of the SIM ID
(for all SIM-based devices or the ESN (for devices without a SIM, such those
using EV-DO),) or you can configure your own SMS password.
Tip: If you do not know the SIM ID or ESN number you can find it in ACEmanager
(Status > WAN/Cellular).
Note: The SMS password is not the same as the ALEOS password used to access
ACEmanager or Telnet/SSH.
To configure the SMS password:
1. Go to Services > SMS > SMS Mode.
